Normally when I purchase a used vehicle, it's ALWAYS the final year of production for that platform, the dreaded N62 lever issue stuck me with the '03 MY E53.

Just buy the 6 instead of the V8. I have always had BMW inline 6 engines. Between timing chain guides and intermediate levers I stayed away from the V8 when I was looking for a X.
Last v8 engine car I brought was a 70's Plymouth Cuda with a 340 six pack. Fast car as long as the road was straight.
